On This Date In 2002...

Shawn Green went 6-6 and hit 4 HRs in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He set an MLB record with 19 total bases (Joe Adcock had 18 in 1954) and tied an MLB record with 6 runs scored. Oddly enough, Ian Kinsler is the only other MLB player to have 6 hits, 4 extra-base hits, and score 5 or more runs in a game.

Also, On This Date In 1960...

Sandy Koufax threw a 1-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates in a complete game shutout. He issued 6 BBs and struck out 10.
